Can you impose UCMJ on a member who is TAD to your unit?

The ability to impose Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) on a member who is Temporary Additional Duty (TAD) to your unit is indeed contingent upon certain factors, including coordination with the member's permanent unit. When personnel are assigned TAD to another unit, they are still primarily under the jurisdiction of their permanent command. However, in cases where an incident occurs while they are assigned to your unit, you can impose UCMJ action, as long as you first consult with and coordinate with their permanent unit. This ensures that proper chain of command protocols are followed and that any disciplinary actions align with both units' policies and procedures.

It is essential to maintain clear communication and uphold the rights of service members, which includes recognizing their ongoing connection to their primary command. This approach fosters consistency and fairness across different units.
